    The old man lost something decent but we didn't see it. Probably a shark. Conditions were amazing.

    I bet! was on the other coast on Sunday and was as flat as I have seen it......probably another 8-9 years before they reopen the Paua fishery there tho from what I have heard.

    Lovely morning in the Pelorus today and looks like a week of it ahead before another big rain start of Feb.
    Spotties cleaned us out of bait and should have kept some of them for bait as the Gurnard arrived and we caught 2 with last 2 pieces of bait.

    Home , filleted , showered ..bed ! Ahhhh day shift how I enjoy the evenings! Thank you VC for waiting around for me! Weird as day out ! We sat in the middle of a very fishy area, kaiwhai feeding on the surface around us in patches! We burleyed baited and stared with a hiss and a roar with a small grey boy and a wee gurnard.

    First strange thing was the very notable difference in current lines, then it was the current itself instead of running ( out going) towards the north, it was runnng west to east across the bay! Only at end of end tide did it finally run true!

    Second weird thing was the amount of weed in the water , Tasman bay is sadly lacking in any amount of weed mass and yet we sat amoungst rafts of the stuff drifting past.

    Third weird thing was bloody blue bottles for about an hour we sat amoungst them some were the biggest I've ever seen damn near the size of your palm , I've never seen after November in the Tasman ..Normanly about in August!

    Forth / fith was the bait it was a tiny whitebait sized fish we had schools of a dozen to a hundred hang behind the boat and then came the plankton, when the tide started the water was empty and as it ran though the plankton became thicker and thicker!

    Ahh but back to the sharking ...well not to dissapiont we had them sorted baby grey boy by the handful ,VC's only interrupted the flow with a mullet , kawhai , brim! Watched the sun dip over the horizon ,and wandered home.

    The company was excellent as above every day is differnt , but a wonderful way to enjoy nature and life in general!

    Heading to the Bay of Many Coves tomorrow.

    I dont know much about the snapper on that side but have been told it can fish quite well. Have fished there heaps but have never hooked a snapper. To be fair I have never targeted one.

    Seen a couple years ago when diving for scollys in the wee cove we are staying but they never hung around and were off a rocky point hanging around the foul.

    Anyone have any knowledge on the area or if there is even any snaps around on that side of the sounds at the moment.

    Only being allowed 2 blue cod each has me keen to try for something different.

    I dont know the area but my advice is burly....lots and lots of burly and a variety of baits.
    Burly a few meters up off the bottom in whatever depth.
